For my English class I was reading a book, the name of the book was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. This is the second book of a trilogy. I have only read this one and the first one but I like this one better because it’s just the first one ever again but with more action. This book is about a girl Katniss that in the first book was chosen to fight to the death against 25 other kids between ages of 12 to 18. Since she had gone in the first book and survived with her lover pita, which wasn’t meant to happen because only one survives. This was much like the gladiators in Rome. The leaders of this horrible game took this as defiance, which was not good. So in the second book after she returns home and lives her life but then the 75th hunger games come around but, this time the leaders tried something new in which they would have all the 75 winners of the other hunger games compete again including Katniss and pita. Also because Katniss defied the capitol or the leaders and didn’t get punished people wanted to rebel against the leaders or the rich guys. This is also because the country is broken down into 12 districts and each district is set into a job like mining or fishing. If you want to know more about the book read it. I highly recommend the trilogy.
A great new technological invention that helps the world would be Planet Solar boat. This is a yacht that has solar panels all above that yacht so that it can absorb energy from the sun. Then makes it into its own energy and it maintains itself. This is a great improvement in boating because boats and ship produce a lot of methane gases that cause global warming. The name of the boat is the Turanor, and it was built by Knierim Yacht Club in Kiel, in Germany, it is a multi-hulled vessel carrying a large array of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The Turanor is also the world’s largest solar boat. The boat is nearly 102 feet long, almost 50 feet wide and standing 24-1/2 feet high (31 meters by 15 meters by 7.5 meters). It can run on its stored energy in the absence of sunlight for around three days at 7.5 knots, the speed of an average oil tanker. At slower speeds it could run for up to 15 days, according to its makers.
The yacht is sailed by two sailors the plan for the four sailors in the yacht is go around the world only using sustainable energy from the boat. The 34,000-mile journey will take the vessel across the Atlantic, the Panama Canal, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean over a scheduled 160 days. The Turanor is also the world’s largest solar boat. The challenge of this sale around the world is to chase the sun, so that they can have energy.
